VMware Data Center Virtualization Fundamentals — Question 17

Which feature of vSphere networking restricts the inbound and outbound network bandwidth of a group of virtual machines?

Answer options

• A. Differentiated Services Code Point
• B. NetFlow
• C. Traffic Shaping
• D. Port Mirroring

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Traffic Shaping is the correct answer because it specifically manages the bandwidth used by virtual machines, controlling both incoming and outgoing traffic. The other options, such as Differentiated Services Code Point, NetFlow, and Port Mirroring, serve different purposes, like marking packets, monitoring traffic, and duplicating traffic, respectively, but do not limit bandwidth.
